A friend built this dice tower, out of scrap wood, based on Monty Python's Quest for the Holy Grail movie:

Made me laugh my head off -- thankfully, he is good with a needle and thread, as well as woodworking. LOL!

Note that this Dice Tower is fully functional. The wood is all scrap; the ears are scrap leather he had lying around. I think it is epic fun. Hoping this will bring a good belly laugh to others… Cheers!

That's pretty special. As someone who is decidedly anti-dice tower, I approve.

I have to admit that I like that.

I am with doubleones on this – don't like dice towers in general but love that one!

That is neat. Be good for a Trojan War siege game, both as a dice tower and as the wooden horse.

That's awesome! Now he needs to build an enormous wooden(dice tower) badger.

Terrific!

That's pretty hilarious! How about a catapult that throws cows?

Pretty great!

Tacitus for the win.

My sides still hurt from laughing after I opened the first photo.

How about a catapult that throws cows?

It would have to have a button to play the screaming, "MOOOooo!" sounds… LOL! Cheers!

I didn't see the use of a dice tower until I saw them in use at conventions for games with very limited table space (RPG, boardgame, miniatures), and they are very handy for the GM esp., who can sit in his chair and let those dice fall next to him, and also to control those wild dice-throwers who knock over playing pieces, pitch dice off the table, etc.
